GOLD PRICE IN JAPANESE YEN — MAY 3, 2018

On Thursday, May 3, 2018, the gold spot price was C$1,688.44 per troy ounce in Canadian Dollars, equivalent to ¥176,104.29 JPY per ounce or ¥5,661.88 JPY per gram. Gold rose +0.91% from the previous trading session.

Currency fluctuations between CAD and JPY significantly impact the effective cost of gold for international investors. Japan is the world's third-largest economy and a significant gold consumer, particularly for jewelry and industrial applications. The Bank of Japan's ultra-loose monetary policy has historically supported higher gold prices in Yen terms, making Japan an active gold market for both institutional and retail investors.
